Texas seems to believe the answer to crime and gun violence is more guns on the street.
I recently read an article about how Texas is in the process of passing a bill for it to be legal for students to carry concealed weapons with them on college campuses to “protect themselves.”
This bill would only apply to public universities. Private universities would be able to enforce their own rules.

| A lot of students, faculty and visitors on the UT Austin campus on August first 1966 would probably disagree with this opinion. Its was from these ranks armed individuals took Charles Whitman under fire preventing his having a "turkey shoot" until police could respond. |

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
